i-REXFO is a demonstration project, financed by the EU in the framework of the LIFE program, with the objective of reducing significantly the amount of landfilled food waste, through an innovative approach that incentivizes actions to reduce food waste and energy valorisation from the inevitable waste produced.

By focusing on food waste produced by food industries, farms, HORECA and consumers, i-REXFO will demonstrate the feasibility, sustainability and replicability of an integrated business model that considers both REF (Reduction of Expired Food) chain and EFE (Expired Food to Energy) chain.

i-REXFO will develop an open-source software to design the integrated scenario and optimize it from a technical, economic and environmental point of view. i-REXFO will uptake good practices from other EU i-REXFO official partner of countries (Denmark), will demonstrate the model in Umbria Region (Italy) and eventually transfer it to other Italian and EU countries (Hungary).
